What a difference a little brain surgery makes! I am still getting the tingling feeling in my left jaw and the burning sensation but only occasionally. Reduced my Baclofen to 65mg and oxcarbazepine to 450mg and will continue over the next few weeks. Just reducing these meds is having an positive effect; I’m not getting the deep pains in my muscles that I was when I was at 90mg baclofen and 1200mg of oxcarbazepine.

My head is still so sore and feels bruised, and it occasionally aches, but that is manageable. Dizziness is still a problem but I can walk without a cane. I started vestibular therapy for it and will need to go for a few more weeks. Turns out the therapist can also help with my TMJ. Jackpot!

I easily get fatigued easily and sleep more than I’m used to. Haven’t got my strength back yet although I am able to do more, including a few hours weeding and cultivating in the garden. It’s been only 3 weeks, and I am surprised to be feeling as pain free as I am.
